''Cathy Woodman is a real find'' - Jill Mansell

Terri Mills is going home to London. With only a battered mini and a bankruptcy order to show for her life in Devon, she’s not feeling particularly proud of herself. At least her nine-year-old daughter Sasha sees their trip as an adventure. Terri’s Gran is keen to lend a hand, and she’s already found Terri a flat and a job, for which Terri’s eternally grateful. If only the job wasn’t at the local flower shop.

Growing up, Terri had two passions: flowers, and the boy next door. Martin Blake, son of florists Val and George, was gorgeous. What’s more, he was all hers - until her parents upped and moved to Devon and she never heard from him again. Now she’s about to walk into his florist’s - and straight back into her past...
